Using the REST Client VSCode Plugin

[@DavidKHill]

Thanks Brian for releasing me from my commercial iron chains. I'll be donating to this guy's effort.
Very well presented! I actually understood EVERYTHING you presented.
Keep'em coming!

[@michelalessandro]

Helped me a lot. Exactly the details that I needed and couldn't realize in docs. Thank you.

[@chetanhanda]

Thanks!

[@MaxProgramming]

This extension is a very useful. My machine cannot handle more and more instances of electron so it's a nice alternative to postman and insomnia

[@brianmmdev]

Yeah its pretty awesome! Loving what its capable of.

[@bobdpa]

Awesome. Thanks Brian! Keep posting!

[@brianmmdev]

Thanks! Will do!

[@JamesQQuick]

This is great! Going to install this now :)

[@brianmmdev]

Really interested in hearing your thoughts 😁

[@SadeghMirzaee-fd8lg]

Oh man, that was Efficient! Short and Effective!

[@Mvrck44]

Thank you! Much easier to understand than docs :)

[@brianmmdev]

Glad it was able to help 😊

[@jpv512]

Nice video with efficient setup and use, thanks, i hope they (res client plugin developper) could add testing to it, it's a fantastic tool

[@kamilerastene5275]

Do you know how it compares to the Thunder Client extension?

[@brianmmdev]

Sorry I don’t. Haven’t used Thunder Client yet

[@kamilerastene5275]

@@brianmmdev Ok. thanks :)

[@KaushikGanguly72]

Is there a way to run all requests at once?

[@jedinica021]

The only issue I have is that sometimes link "Send Request" becomes not clickable and I have to re-open rest file. This happens a lot when I edit other files and switch back and forth to rest file to test.

[@darshan1304]

how we can write pre-request-scripts written in postman in rest client?

Question: How to run Rest Client API 2000 times in a loop for different data parameters?

[@farkooch]

Thanks for sharing this video. Do you know how we can identify .env files in the root projects in an http file using the rest client?
it does not recognize my variables from dev.env and I couldn't find the related settings to set the path to the env file in the settings.json in .vscode directory. Any help would be appreciated.

[@brianmmdev]

I'm not sure unfortunately. There might be something in their docs?

[@flaykaz]

hey,i got a probel in my case i cannotn make the .http file ,any solution?

[@a2zinindia]

It's very helpful. Please suggest how to pass JSON object in POST. Thanks in advance.

[@OmarElmasry1]

Great video, liked and subbed

[@brianmmdev]

Glad you liked it, thanks for the sub too!

[@NoahNobody]

Is it possible to use this plugin with Supabase? I'm getting "message": "No API key found in request" even though I added an apikey and authorization key

[@brianmmdev]

I'm honestly not familiar with Supabase so I couldn't really say. If you want though, you can join the Discord I mod, we have at least one developer who has worked extensively with Supabase that would probably know better than I would: www.learnbuildteach.com

[@sudharshanamohan]

This was really useful , how can I get specific json data from response ?

[@brianmmdev]

Not sure I understand. What are you looking to do specifically?

[@kvEik]

Loving the extension, but if you close that response-window containing your actual json, it aint comming back. ever. Nuke extensions folder/data, VSC etc. Its gone. Now i have to press F1 and run "Rest.client.request" command manually instead of using the command CTRL+ALT+R.... Found a fix for this? HIT ME UP!

[@brianmmdev]

That's strange, sounds like a bug because I close the window all the time when Im done with it.

[@daru25able]

How do you send a patch request through vs code rest client ?

[@brianmmdev]

I imagine it would be to just use the `patch` method in replacement of where Im using the others. I havent tested that though.

[@daru25able]

@@brianmmdev you are right, thanks

[@skipa9906]

Hi, great tutorial. I am new in learning APIs. Do you have step by step creation of Java APIs using VScode?

[@brianmmdev]

Thank you! Sorry, I actually am not overly familiar with Java.

[@skipa9906]

@@brianmmdev Thank you.

[@ADSNGreenLife]

I have [AllowAnonymous] attribute on HttpGet so how can send Authorization: None Rest Client???

[@brianmmdev]

I think you can ignore setting that header. Otherwise you can try setting “Authorization: None” directly below the URL. I haven’t tested this, but I believe it should work.

[@ADSNGreenLife]

@@brianmmdev removed before you said bu now getting an error "getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND http"

[@ADSNGreenLife]

@brian if I removed above space from JSON now getting error " header name must be a valid HTTP token ["{"]

[@brianmmdev]

@@ADSNGreenLife Youd need that space because it separates the headers from the body in the request.
If you want, DM me your code on Twitter (@brianmmdev) and I can help you debug it.

[@avalagum7957]

I might miss something in the documentation. How to put comments in .http files?

[@brianmmdev]

If I recall, use the hash mark #

[@jasonhuang4333]

Very helpful! Thx

[@brianmmdev]

Glad it helped!

Thank you !!

[@MijanurRahman-jo1st]

Can i test file with this?

[@brianmmdev]

Not sure what you mean, what file?

[@MijanurRahman-jo1st]

@@brianmmdev I want to pass file(file upload) and json or plain text data together using multi part form data. How can I do that?

Thanks guy

Thank you

[@abhishekbiswas2267]

Awesome mate... how do I pass NTLM auth in the request? 🤔

[@brianmmdev]

Thanks! Looks like that feature is on the backlog for now: github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient/issues/15

[@diwakardayal954]

three ### ah now its working thankss

[@agguLi]

Thanks for the video but imo Thunderclient is a much better plugin. It's like postman but much faster

[@brianmmdev]

I’ve heard that, but still haven’t done much with it. Appreciate the suggestion
